This thing works okay if you don't have as many acorns as we do to pick up. You have to go back and forth over the same area over and over in order to pick up a few nuts, empty them, then go again. We found a rake and shovel work a lot better for the many trees we have and trying to get them up fast so our horses wouldn't eat them. Also, I found the same item at half the price after I ordered and used them so I couldn't send them back (we ordered 2).
They work---just very slowly.

I put my Roller Nut Harvester to use two days after it arrived at my home. I have to admit, it is one heck of a life saver. I got so tired of walking on acorns when I mowed the lawn, but there was no way I could bend down and pick up all of those darn acorns. I filled a 12 gallen trash can using the roller nut harvester in no time.

I'm very happy with this product.It does everything it is advertised to do and then some. It makes cleaning mine and my neighbors yards a lot easier on my back.
The only complaint I've gotten is from the squirrels.

I bought this to pick up Hickory nuts from my yard. I've got 3 @$#! of them right in the front and they produce a lot of nuts. Unfortunatly @$#! squirrels eat them fast and leave shells all around.

This device is well built, the seller did a fantastic job with the price, shipping, and sending it fast. The device works well for round nuts but only fair when it comes to picking up the shells.

Still I'd recommend the device for picking up the nuts. For shells and massive amounts of nuts, using a 12 amp leaf blower with 200+ mph nozzle does a fair job. I guess nothing picks up nuts that are half buried in the dirt. If you blow at them too hard you just blow the soil away in a cloud and the nut stays there. I guess they are well-designed for procreation! Happy nutting! Grrrrrr!

This was a great purchase, it works great and saves the old back it is the
neatest pecan picker upper I've seen or ever used. It is built well and again works great.

I bought the Roller Nut Harvester to pick up acorns from a number of oak trees in my yard. Every year squirrels bury the acorns and annihilate my lawn. The harvester works in the sense that it picks up a ton of acorns. However, it also pulls up all the grass along the way. So, if you don't care about things around the acorns (like grass), then this product is probably for you. If you're like me and you want to save your lawn from acorns, then this is definitely NOT a solution. Raking the acorns is more effective.

Bought this on Amazon, as we have enormous quantities of acorns and hickory nuts in our yard.

When it arrived, the wheel wouldn't turn. One of the cotter pins had been pushed too far in and so it interfered with the cage. I had to manually bend it open to fix this.
Actual use was pretty simple and it DOES pick-up nuts. My daughter loved using it. But after just two or three uses, when I spread the wires apart to empty the nuts out, they stayed open. This makes the tool useless, and I couldn't fix it. I ended up returning it.

The construction is very cheap. The central wheel is a rough cylinder of wood, and a single coil of wire is wrapped around it, held in place by a cheap metal pipe clamp. The whole thing was painted green, seemingly with cheap spray-paint. Even if it had not broken so quickly, I doubt it would have lasted long and it certainly isn't worth more than $5 in terms of materials and construction

This thing works great. Now of course if you have an grove I wouldn't bother however it does a great job picking up the pecans. I bought 2 of these so my Granddaughter and I could roll together it is simple enough that she has fun doing it too. We have 30 trees so I just roll this around every day and pick up what has dropped.

This works just as it is supposed to. It is well built and I am sure it will last for years.

I use the device to harvest acorns. I made a better handle using three 6" pieces of 1" PVC and a 1" tee and filled the handle with mortar. Works well.
